The mod team solved some of this awkward context by altering and recasting NPCs, or outright creating new ones. The Hong Kong nightclub is full of escorts trying to seduce men and various Russians either ignoring you or asking for more women to dance with. The last major overhaul includes dealing with character interactions and level design that didn't make sense in the context of a female JC Denton, such as The Lucky Money club. "The enthusiasm was electric, and we started to realize that we simply had to keep going. "I don’t think any of us were expecting to be as happy with it as we were," Chris told PC Gamer. The couple are currently working together on the fourth audiobook of a drama series, but were beginning to feel burnt out, so they decided to tackle voicing Deus Ex's first mission with a female character as a way to break things up.
